Everyone else it seems needs to heed Chuckie's words......but apparently not Twitter if they didn't act on FBI flagged posts for censorship.
I wonder why?

I must have missed where you showed that the FBI coerced Twitter to censor things instead of just flagging items for review.The undefeated hand waving champ!
As if EITHER of those things is even remotely close to being ok.

I love that this admits that Musk doesn’t care about free speech.
I mean, it was obvious form the start, but some Muskateers actually believed it.
Only in your warped worldview does it admit that.
BTW, Greenwald has maintained his principles throughout and said he's against the recent Musk timeouts.
Just like I and many others here have stated, and unlike your previous cheerleading of FBI led censorship at Twitter.

Funny how the very same people who attempt to normalize this behavior by the FBI also call their political opponents fascists.
You cant make it up.

So if the FBI identifies bot accounts under the control of China spamming pro-China anti-Taiwan propaganda, they should… do nothing? Just hope that every social media site has the sophistication to identify and deal with it?I didn't know that Billy Baldwin is a Chinese bot.

@ChiGoose has been in rare form today.
An hour ago he was against censorship, before he had a change of heart and is now excusing the government giving Twitter a helping hand with censorship.
Against it before he was for it.

The government flagging things for review is fine, and even probably good.
Is there evidence that the government coerced Twitter into making a decision against its own policy?
But of course...the FBI flagging posts for moderation? That's fine!
But Musk acting unilaterally? Bad.
The government has no business flagging anything for private companies for content moderation. Period.

No it hasn't been well documented.
Lie.
And no they don't have any business doing it.
Period.

The jet info is public info. There’s nothing private about it. It’s widely available to anyone who wants it regardless of whether or not it’s on twitter. It’s not secret. It’s not assassination coordinates or any BS like that. Stop pretending it’s private info because it simply isn’t in any sense of the word.
I literally just opened my flight tracker app and saw a private plane flying by (VTHMA out of Van Nuys. A Bombadier Global Express). No Twitter necessary. If I wanted to track someone’s private jet, I can do it without Twitter.
Tech journalist explains the issue better than I can: Elon Tries (Badly) To Defend The Banning Of Journalists As Twitter Starts Blocking Links & Mentions Of Mastodon
“First, he just ***** changed the terms of service to shut down the jet tracker, and made them so broad and vague that tons of tweets would violate the rule — including anyone using Twitter’s built-in location indicator to tweet a photo of someone else. Second, the location of his plane is public information. It’s not “assassination coordinates.” If Musk is worried about getting assassinated, hiding this account isn’t going to help, because the assassin will just go straight to the ADS-B source and get the data anyway. Third, I get that Musk claims his child was in a car that was attacked the other night, but there remain some open questions about that story. For example, the location where it occurred, as deduced by BellingCat, was not close to any airport.
Given that, it’s not at all clear how this is connected to the jet tracking service.
Furthermore, the LAPD put out a statement on this:
LAPD’s Threat Management Unit (TMU) is aware of the situation and tweet by Elon Musk and is in contact with his representatives and security team. No crime reports have been filed yet.
Which, you know, seems notable. Because if a stalker actually went after him, you’d think that rather than just posting about it on social media, he might contact the police?
But, most importantly, none of the journalists in question actually posted “real time” assassination coordinates for Musk. They had posted about this whole story having to do with content moderation decisions made by Musk. Hell, one of the journalists, Donie Sullivan, got banned for tweeting that LAPD statement.
So, yeah, it’s not about “equal treatment” for journalists. It’s about coming up with bull#### arbitrary rules that just so happen to ban the journalists who have been calling out all the dumb ***** Elon has been doing. Which, you know, was the kinda thing Elon insisted was the big problem under the last regime, and insisted he was brought in to solve.“
Cry harder dude.
You were silent when it happened to others.

Musk unbanned all those Right Wing accounts and then started banning anyone who covers him critically without explanation (there’s no evidence that I’ve found that all of those journalists were tweeting live location data).He can do that. It’s his right as the owner of the platform. But it’s exactly the same thing everyone here was complaining about Twitter doing before he bought it. Now it’s all fun and games and totally fine.
He can apply the rules equally, but doesn’t seem to want to. He could actually go full free-speech but he doesn’t seem to want to. And that’s his right.
I’m just not going to pretend he is doing something he clearly isn’t interested in.
Do you think Musk has been enforcing his Twitter 2.0 rules with input from the government?
Because we know during Twitter 1.0 that they absolutely were.

4chan is more free speech absolutism without much moderation. so you are in this thread talking about elon creating a moderation rule. you may not like it but if it is applied equally and with transparency then what's the problem?soo damned if you do damed if you dont.
i think you just dont like the guy.
what leftist clearly refuse to understand on this topic. it was not about having rules on a platform. it was about rules being used to only target "right wing" opinions while letting the left run wild as they please. it was happening, there is proof and seems like that is the real issue leftist have. they no longer control the site.
And those rules, suspensions, shadow bans etc. were being enforced via input from the government.
They always seem to leave that part out.

I assume he's referring to the covid Twitter files here.
Which of course will be just another big nothing burger to the very same people who freaked out yesterday over temporary bans of their activist friends.
Elon has probably been trolling the whole time...

I know, right? We are just now reaching peak buffoon. Thankfully the adults are back in the White House.
At least we've got that going for us, which is nice.

We can expose the blatant hypocrisy all day long.
Or simply just say..
Hey Elon made mistakes, but he's committed to getting it right going forward!
Right @ChiGoose?

Free speech! Free speech! All hail Elon, champion of free speech!
Private company. Can do what as they wish!
Sound familiar?
And again, unless clear proof is shown of violation of Twitter policy I do not agree with these suspensions.

June, July and August here in NC it's not fun to be outside most of the time. Just like Dec-Feb in WNY IMO.
